Westborough High School
The Senior Voice
Ah Senior Year!
Isabella: Westborough High School 21’
The year of college applications and in turn, many, MANY tears. I had planned on majoring in Musical Theater, but ended up changing my mind in September. Now, I’m going to be doing a double major in Environmental Science and Theater! I’m so happy I changed my plans around because I really feel this is the best choice for me. I’m so passionate about environmental issues and want to be a part of helping to solve the climate crisis. At the same time, being on stage is my home and there’s nothing that makes me happier than performing. With the double major, I’ll be able to keep both of my passions in my life, and I’m so excited to see what the future holds.
Currently, I have 16 schools on my application list–I know, it’s a lot. The worst part about this year is that I’m not able to visit any colleges. So to be honest, I don’t really know what I like and don’t like. I’m hoping that there will be at least one of these 16 schools that I’ll love. With 16 schools comes a lot of supplemental essays. It’s weird to be writing this blog without having to think of a word limit. I keep thinking “am I under 250 words?” haha; that’s how I know I’ve written too many supplements. I’ve actually been very proud of how I’m handling my applications considering I’m known to be the biggest procrastinator. I’ve been working on them a bit every day so I’m never rushing them all before the due date. As much fun as application season has been (not), I’m looking forward to being done, and able to just relax and enjoy the rest of senior year.

Thank you so much for taking my pictures today. You always make me feel so comfortable and make the experience so amazing and fun. The college audition process is a stressful time but you made me feel so much better about it.

While I ventured back to work on Friday, it was not without its challenges. I am very hands on with my clients in terms of adjustments to their hair or clothing so it went against all of my instincts to stop and have Isabella’s mom fix everything…but if I want to work this is how it has to be so I will adjust. Also, shooting with a mask on takes some getting used to and is hot, especially with the camera in front of my face, but is not in the least prohibitive. ( wearing a mask is required by me for anyone at my sessions)
Isabella’s session was great. I heard all about her almost playing the lead her in school musical, EVITA and her currently lazy summer days on the hammock. And get this….she saw both Hadestown and Hamilton on the Broadway (remember when we had that in NY?) and she liked Hadestown better?! Now all I want to do is see Hadestown!! :)
The second part of her session is Tuesday night in Concord, MA and I can’t wait to share those photos too!
